Not sure whether to be happy or sad.

Been waiting for VXR8s to drop below £15k (the price a cheap-ish runaround becomes a potential ass-raping) so I can enjoy one of the 'last V8s' before they become extinct (even BMW are going smaller capacity twin turbo in their M series).

So while high petrol prices may cause the residuals to crash on these gas guzzlers, the cost of having to fill up is going to get painful for tight-arsed northerners like me.

Nobody's fooled, you have nothing more than a moped license.

Low maintenance, just the bodywork needs touching up ?

That's the old shape like the old SL55, with the nicer round headlights. Same car but much bigger engine.

Even 5.5 is too expensive IMHO

I was listening to radio the other day and they had various British oil workers whining about how they needed to get out of the country and the British government weren't sending the SAS out with planes quick enough, and I was thinking, "You can't just abandon your job because of a bit of shooting and stuff! What about my petrol?? Get back to work, the lot of you."

Sadly, I can remember petrol at 4/6d a gallon.


That's 22.5p for the uninitiated.

That was the same for a packet of 20 cigarettes.
Today packet of twenty is about £6? That equates to £6 per gallon or £1.30 per litre.
No change then
